La composicion esta muy bien solo que tienes que dominar mas tu flash, ya que si la niņa no fuera de piel morena seguro tendrias una imagen con mucho claro ahi especificamente donde esta ella saludos.
Nice, even skin tones here! The bokeh and separation from the background works well. I also like how both the mother and child seem connected with the photographer (and thereby seem connected with the viewer).
Like the previous reviewer, however, I'm bothered that a good quarter or more of this image is taken up by your subject's arm, when I suspect you intented to show a tender mother-child embrace, or something similar. The arm is so dominant that I notice it way before I see the sweet smiling child or the mother's knowing gaze.
Portrait photography is not my strength, but I wonder if backing up slightly (different lens?) and raising the camera to a position more level with the child's eyes might help. Hopefully others with experience in portraits might make suggestions.
This my take, what i like good exposure. Don`t like The adult head at a bad angle Distracting white out of focus highlights in background,your eyes go there instead of the subject. Show more of the subject,the girl seems to be gripping the lady. Your are shooting at lady`s arm. Hope you keep shooting and improving. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Regards Robert You are a brave guy Peter but I guess when you want to improve you gotta be strong,which you ARE.
